As of October 2014, Gallup polling found that 43% of Americans identified as Democrats and 39% as Republicans, when party leaners were included; those figures changed to 41% Democratic and 42% Republican after the November 2014 elections.
While self-identified Democrats are more likely to favor Israel over the Palestinians (43 percent to 29 percent), they are far less sympathetic toward Israel than either Republicans or Independents.
